Tim Hughes puts the boot into the highs and lows of the online travel business (with an Australasian/Asian bias) with some blogging about consuming and loving travel thrown in.

This is not a blog post about ???.com relaunched as a travel site

As everyone else got their first overnight my time, I am not going to add to the PR bonanza that the new owners of the URL of dotcom boom, burn rate and bubble burst poster child ???.com are enjoying with the launch of a travel mashup/social network - so you will have to guess the name.

I have played with the site and it is very confusing and busy. and I did not find their pricing in Asia very compelling. I love the name and the intial feel of homepage is attractive - it failed to deliver for me when I clicked into search results pages.

Late to the party to comment on this one! Agree with the views on poor usability, read a news item this morning on Jakob Nielsen commenting on the effect of Web 2.0 leading to usability principles being overlooked. I posted a few thoughts on the Dot blog.
